Netflix


Hey we got netflix and Im loving the selection. Some movies i recommend if you haven't seen them yet:



"Spellbound"- a documentary about 7 or 8 students who set out to win the National Spelling Bee. Upon watching it for the 3rd time I find it very entertaining and humbling.


"Rivers and Tides' - Another documentary about a natural artist named Andy Goldsworthy who does amazing art with leaves, clay, ice, rocks, and time. Ive rented this movie twice and it is now on my Netflix queue.


"13 conversations about one thing"- a drama about people living in N.Y.C. (If i remember correctly) and how their lives connect. One of the few movies we own.



"Metallica : Some kind of Monster"- Saw most of this in hotel but Im looking forward to seeing the whole thing. An interesting look at how greed and money can make babies out hard core rockers.



"I am trying to break your heart: a film about Wilco" - A documentary that follows Wilco as they record and release their album "Yankee hotel foxtrot". This movie is a good intro to one of my favorite rock groups with alot of their music and a battle with the corporate music industry.



"Bob Dylan: Don't look back" - Old footage of Dylan on tour in Europe. Some very funny moments.




"Is wall-mart good for America?"- PBS Frontline documentary explores Wal- mart and its effects on American culture. There is another movie out in Theatres about wal- mart right now but I've not seen it yet. Its called "Wal-Mart the high cost of low prices". Always low wages, always.

Speaking of "Spellbound," have you guys seen "Mad Hot Ballroom" about ballroom dance competition in NYC among 4th & 5th graders? Very enjoyable. Dad (DSM)
